6 setup steps most editors skip:
1. Name your project
2. Color space → REC 709
3. Aspect ratio → 9:16
4. Frame rate → 24 (cinematic) or 30 (smooth)
5. Workspace layout → Vertical
6. Import the Instagram Reel UI guide so your text never gets covered
Get this right once and every edit after it gets easier.
